 We have threads dedicated to the Master of Adventure, himself and Barsoom but i think this new line of books deserves a thread of its own. Announced at San Diego Comic-Con, Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc is launching a new line of novels that will adhere to the canon established by Edgar Rice Burroughs and adhere to each other forming a Super Arc. Here is the list of the first wave of novels as well as links with additional info: CARSON OF VENUS: THE EDGE OF ALL WORLDS by Matt Betts Stranded on an alien world for nearly two decades, Earthman Carson Napier finds his own past haunting him in strange and terrifying ways when he’s confronted by a sinister madman bent on ruling Amtor. To stop his opponent and his insidious weapon, Carson must gather an alliance of friends and former enemies alike in an epic struggle for control of the planet. TARZAN: BATTLE FOR PELLUCIDAR by Win Scott Eckert The Lord of the Jungle returns to the Earth’s core on a mission to stop the Nazis from obtaining a powerful superweapon. But when the ape-man’s murderous adversaries partner with Pellucidar’s routed reptilian overlords, can Tarzan prevent the conquest and enslavement of all humanity in both the inner and outer worlds? JOHN CARTER OF MARS: GODS OF THE FORGOTTEN by Geary Gravel After his strange arrival on Barsoom, John Carter battled countless perils to win the heart of his beloved Dejah Thoris and went on to shatter the age-old chains that bound his adopted world to a false religion. But now an ancient and monstrous evil stirs beneath the Red Planet’s surface and threatens to destroy all he holds dear. VICTORY HARBEN: FIRES OF HALOS by Christopher Paul Carey Hurled by a mysterious force across time and space, young inventor Victory Harben is transported at dizzying speed from one strange world to another. Soon Victory begins to wonder whether her unexpected tour of the cosmos is the result of a natural phenomenon...or an ominous entity intent on using her to achieve its own malevolent ends.

$34.99?!? Seeing used ones at Amazon and Abe for around $10, if I had time to actually read, I'd probably go that route. I think I only came across this once or twice when I used to hit the used books stores in NJ a lot back in the 90s. |

Not exactly something for the back pocket.  |

I have no doubt a softcover and ebook will be out. |

This is one I still need to pick up. I meant to get it at the Dum Dum in Morgan City, and forgot. Or maybe I had spent my wad--I can't recall. At any rate, I met Win Scott there, and could have gotten one signed had I made more of an effort. Win just posted this news on his site about the acceptance of Dark Heart into the ERB Universe (emphasis added by me): |

That's a great interview which really brings home how revolutionary was the imagination of Edgar Rice Burroughs. I had thought that REH was the first to do a kind of proto shared universe yarn with Kings in the Night, but ERB had done that kind of thing first and on a grander scale: |
